Bio

I am a mechanical engineer doing my honours. I am good in simplifying concepts that are hard to grasp and when teaching I focus on understanding the work in stead of memorising methods taught usually.

I am patient and very good in simplifying difficult to grasp concepts. I believe that a student should focus on understanding the work in stead of memorising methods to complete work.

Education

• 2017 - 2020 Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Distinction (University of Pretoria)
• 2021- 2021 Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering Honours (University of Pretoria)

My Proudest
Achievements

• I graduated my degree (Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering) with distinction. I am a four time member of the golden key honorary society (top 15% of class). I completed matric with an average of 90% and 7 distinctions

Mathematics

First Year - Second Year University

I am a mechanical engineering graduate doing my honours this year. I passed all of my undergrad mathematics/calculus/differential equations/numerical methods modules first time round. I have helped other students with these modules so I have experienced in this regard. I have good resources too.

Physics

First Year University

I am a mechanical engineering graduate doing my honours this year. I am well versed in first-year physics and mechanics as I have built up an extensive knowledge of this during my four years of studying engineering. I have experience tutoring these modules.

Calculus

First Year University

I am a mechanical engineering graduate currently doing my honours degree. I have experience in tutoring calculus/mathematics/numerical methods/differential equations to students as I was in a residence where I had to help students pass these modules.

Thermodynamics

First Year - Third Year University

I am a mechanical engineering graduate currently doing my honours. I am very well versed in any type of mechanical engineering related thermodynamics. I have achieved very good results and have helped many students to pass these modules.

Python

First Year - Second Year

I am a mechanical engineering graduate currently doing my honours degree. I am well versed in Python programming required by many modules. I can help with any engineering related Python problems that you may be struggling with. I have helped many people with this as I was a tutor in my residence.

Reviews from others

“The honest feedback that we get from Alex is highly appreciated. He indicates immediately when things aren't going accordingly so that prompt action can be taken. Although Alex is friendly but has a firm grasp on the lessons which is a great hybrid approach when teaching a teenager. ”
